We Don't Need Your Stinking Facts

Science? Really? Apparently facts are not allowed to enter into the discussion when it comes to the Neo-Cons. They are pesky, especially when they contradict what they've already decided to be true.

Top federal drug officials decided to reject an application to allow over-the-counter sales of the morning-after pill months before a government scientific review of the application was completed, according to accounts given to Congressional investigators.

The Government Accountability Office, a nonpartisan investigative arm of Congress, concluded in a report released Monday that the Food and Drug Administration's May 2004 rejection of the morning-after pill, or emergency contraceptive, application was unusual in several respects.

Top agency officials were deeply involved in the decision, which was "very, very rare," a top F.D.A. review official told investigators. The officials' decision to ignore
the recommendation of an independent advisory committee as well as the agency's own scientific review staff was unprecedented, the report found. And a top official's "novel" rationale for rejecting the application contradicted past agency practices, it concluded.

Does it even shock you? After all Evolution is just a theory. Jeepers. Why even bother with research? Conception begins at the moment you think about sex apparently. I may already be pregnant after watching the Daily Show when George Clooney was on.

Pass out the cigars.
